SMART LOCKER NETWORK · ITALY
Smart electric lockers controlled from your phone. For nightclubs, festivals, museums and universities.
THE PROBLEM
FOR THE USER
FOR THE VENUE OPERATOR
OPPORTUNITY
The user has paid for their ticket online, scanned the QR code at the entrance and orders drinks from their phone.
The cloakroom is the last step still offline. It is ready to be automated.
THE SOLUTION
The user scans the QR code on the locker unit, books a compartment, pays with Stripe and opens it from their phone whenever they want — with FaceID, a fingerprint or a code.
USER EXPERIENCE · 4 TAPS
Biometrics work on iPhone (FaceID/TouchID), Android (fingerprint) and computers with Windows Hello or TouchID.

HIGHLIGHT

ANATOMY · CUBE
Robust, break-in-resistant locker unit made from painted sheet metal. Wall-anchored or freestanding.
A 12V electromagnetic lock on each door. It opens on command from the app and locks again automatically.
A Raspberry Pi powered by 12V manages everything: it receives commands over the internet and forwards them to the locks. Cost ~€60.
A modem with a dedicated SIM: the locker unit works independently of the venue's WiFi, always online.
A single mains power supply provides 12V to everything: locks, controller and LEDs. No batteries.
A coloured LED shows the status at a glance: green = free, red = booked, blue = in use, yellow = maintenance.
ACCESS IN 1 TAP
The user opens the link, places a finger on the sensor or their face in front of the camera, and is in within 2 seconds. The biometric passkey replaces the entire email/SMS flow: no codes to enter, no need to leave the app.
